All eyes will be on Japan this year as the world prepares for the highly anticipated Expo 2025 in the vibrant city of Osaka. Set on the expansive Yumeshima island venue just a stone’s throw from the city center, Expo 2025 will welcome 158 national and regional exhibitors, seven exhibiting international organizations and an estimated 28.2 million visitors from all over the globe. As Japan takes center stage internationally, the country’s most innovative businesses are drawing increased attention and forging global partnerships. Takayuki Kasuga, president of molding manufacturer NiKKi Fron Co., Ltd., hopes to expand his firm’s role in the crucial semiconductor field. “In the wafer-cleaning machine sector, Japanese companies hold the number one market share worldwide, and we have strong relationships with these businesses. We are very focused on expanding further into international markets,” said Kasuga. Exports have always been crucial to the success of Japan’s economy, and today’s corporate leaders are keen to continue this tradition. “We send out over 100 million parts annually, with approximately 4,000 flights delivering them to global clients. Our strength lies in our stamina to serve a diverse range of clients worldwide, driven by consistent efforts and attention to detail over the years,” said Iichiro Haga, president of Toyo Corporation. Manabu Tateoka, managing director of Suntec Co., Ltd., agreed. “In my view, enhancing and promoting business with foreign manufacturers is key, especially as the euro and U.S. dollar are much stronger than the Japanese yen,” said Tateoka.  Amid growing globalization and the rising international excitement surrounding the Expo, Japan’s business community is actively building commercial ties with every corner of the world. “We have built factories elsewhere in Asia, and we can provide a full service for clients using our subsidiaries and partner sites in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, India and Mexico,” said Takehiro Ishihara, president of Nippon Molding Co., Ltd. “I think that looking toward the future, a focus on the Global South will be important. From our base in Singapore, we are looking to further grow in India and Africa,” said Toshimasa Numajiri, president and CEO of Numajiri Sangyo Co., Ltd. President of Aoki Trans Corporation, Yasuki Kojima, is also looking to develop business in similar corners of the world. “One of the biggest projects we have at the moment is the Indian market. Through M&As and financial partnerships, we hope to increase our clientele to wider areas, starting from Thailand and covering more in the region,” said Kojima. Meanwhile, OSP Holdings Co., Ltd. President Tadashi Matsuguchi also has far-reaching overseas plans. “We have established new bases in Germany and Australia. With our 30-year history in the U.S., specifically New York, we are focusing on procurement in this area and also see the need to establish a new base on the West Coast,” said Matsuguchi. Ryohei Mori, president of Green Science Alliance Co., Ltd., summed up the mood of many business leaders when he said that a global mindset is increasingly important for success. “Our company’s objective is to secure capital and expedite our business processes. It is crucial to instill confidence in our investors across different regions,” said Mori. Running for six exciting months until mid-October, Expo 2025, themed “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” will be a vibrant global stage for Japan’s innovation, sparking new international growth and partnerships.  ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/expo-2025-showcases-the-best-in-business/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/expo-2025-showcases-the-best-in-business/"},"headline":"Expo 2025 Showcases the Best in Business","datePublished":"2026-07-14T06:27:23.747Z","dateModified":"2026-07-14T06:27:02.842Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/expo-2025-showcases-the-best-in-business/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[],"articleSection":"Paid Partner Content","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/branded-content/global-kigyo/expo-2025-showcases-the-best-in-business/","name":"Expo 2025 Showcases the Best in Business"}}]}] ```
